## Detailed Description

A DateTime Axis can be used to display DateTime representations with tick marks and grid lines. The DateTime items on the axis are displayed at the position of the ticks.

## Property Documentation

### labelFormat : QString

This property holds the format of the DateTime labels on the axis. The format property allows to signify the visual representation of the DateTime object, in days, months, and years. The default value is dd-MMMM-yy.

Access functions:

QString | labelFormat() const
void | setLabelFormat(const QString &format)

Notifier signal:

void | labelFormatChanged(const QString &format)

### max : QDateTime

This property holds the maximum value on the axis

This value can be lower or higher than the minimum. The DateTime is stored as UTC internally. The default value is new Date(1980,1,1)

Access functions:

QDateTime | max() const
void | setMax(const QDateTime &max)

Notifier signal:

void | maxChanged(const QDateTime &max)

### min : QDateTime

This property holds the minimum value on the axis

This value can be lower or higher than the maximum. The DateTime is stored as UTC internally. The default value is new Date(1970,1,1)

Access functions:

QDateTime | min() const
void | setMin(const QDateTime &min)

Notifier signal:

void | minChanged(const QDateTime &min)

### `[since 6.11]` pan : qreal

This property holds the pan value of the axis.

The pan value moves the center of the axis without affecting intervals of grid and labels. The default value is 0.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.11.

Access functions:

qreal | pan() const
void | setPan(qreal pan)

Notifier signal:

void | panChanged(qreal pan)

### subTickCount : int

This property holds the number of subticks on the axis. This indicates how many subticks are drawn between major lines on the graph. Labels are not drawn for subticks. The default value is 0.

Access functions:

int | subTickCount() const
void | setSubTickCount(int newSubTickCount)

Notifier signal:

void | subTickCountChanged()

### tickInterval : qreal

This property holds the interval between dynamically placed tick marks and labels. The default value is 0, which means that intervals are automatically calculated based on the min and max range.

Access functions:

qreal | tickInterval() const
void | setTickInterval(qreal newTickInterval)

Notifier signal:

void | tickIntervalChanged()

### `[since 6.11]` timeZone : QString

This property holds the time zone that will be used to display labels of the axis. The accepted values are based on IANA time zone IDs. The default time zone is UTC.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.11.

Access functions:

QString | timeZone() const
void | setTimeZone(const QString &zoneId)

Notifier signal:

void | timeZoneChanged(const QString &timeZone)

### `[since 6.11]` zoom : qreal

This property holds the zoom value of the axis. The zoom value enlarges or shrinks the axis and thus the graph without affecting intervals of grid and labels. The default value is 1.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.11.

Access functions:

qreal | zoom() const
void | setZoom(qreal zoom)

Notifier signal:

void | zoomChanged(qreal zoom)
